COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH NATIONAL DISASTERS

With the increase of natural disasters, the higher the risk of damages. Recent studies have shown the increase in costs associated with natural disasters in North America. The below chart demonstrates the number of Canadian dollars spent in restoring damages inflicted from natural disasters over the past few years.
